Turkey Work Stitch Question

I've been trying to learn the turkey work stitch which I think might work with
several ideas I have percolating. I can't figure out how to camouflage the
topmost anchor row which, in my experiments, looks like a collection of
backstitches. Any and all suggestions would be appreciated.

Once you have cut and fluffed the loops, they should pouf over the anchor row.

The back stitches should be behind the loops.

An alternative is to make a row in front of your work and make sure you
put the back stitches between the rows.

Did that make sense?

As Karen wrote, once you snip all your loops the anchor row won't show.

Thanks all for the advice. I am probably doing something wrong sigh

Try working a sample with five or six stitches and several rows of them. Cut
the loop stitches and I think you will find the anchor row does not show. Boo
